stuggle with battery life

I've been on nightlies for awhile and continue with horrible battery life. I've tried different kernels as well. Currently on GodMod.

After full charge I drop to 85% in minutes. If I do reboot from full charge smae thing.

Battery usage only shows cell standby, display and phone idle. WiFi is off. Any ideas as to how I troubleshoot?

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
cm7 supports it just fine, actually it works best with CyanogenMod

look at S2E application in the market if you care to know more
[EVO 4G General] :
I've had issues with texts coming in late. My girlfriend will send a text with a typo fix, and I'll get that before the initial text. Been going on all day today.
[EVO 4G General] mudkipz:
Whenever I receive a call and I try to answer it it tells me whose calling and to press one. How do I get rid of that?
[EVO 4G General] Lento10:
that's a setting in google voice,
[EVO 4G General] fergie716:
Goto google.com/voice and look at your call settings.. You'll see the option
[EVO 4G General] mudkipz:
Now I can't get calls and all my texts are going to voice.
[EVO 4G General] fergie716:
My advice? First uninstall Google Voice on your phone. Goto google.com/voice log in, get rid of your current account. When you have gotten rid of your Google Voice acct, create a new one, but do not select the Sprint Integration option. Re download Google Voice, as soon as you open it, select "Skip" when it asks you if you want Sprint Integration..
[EVO 4G General] mudkipz:
Thank you so much lol.

Thats a long list of changes lol
[EVO 4G General] fergie716:
Hey Matty, have you noticed any lag when flashing nightlies on top of one another, just wiping cache's? I had some issues a couple builds back when I just wiped cache/dalvik.. I think there were only one or two minor changes in the builds..
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Nothing out of normal.

I always wipe everything but /data though

/system /boot /cache /dalvik cache
[EVO 4G General] fergie716:
Ok thanks must have been something on my end
[EVO 4G General] timdawgdentist:
Will I have to re set up some things with this wipe method? This is the first time anyone has said to wipe more than cache/Dalvik

thanks in advance

Tim
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Only something like system font changes but I'm pretty sure you have to do that anyway after flashing a nightly.
[EVO 4G General] cocaineblunts:
Running N152 and everything is running great so far
[EVO 4G General] iamsavedme30:
Same here.
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
... most folks only wipe Cache and Dalvik, unless there is an issue.

some folks say they do a full wipe each time.

some folks say they wipe 3x

some folks say that they prefer Charmin
[EVO 4G General] XsMagical:
+1

I always wipe System, Cache, Dalvik Cache, Boot & Batt stats and i never have any issues unless its a Nooner related issue.
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
as a general rule i personally wipe none of the above & flash nightlies on a daily basis without issues.

i think you guys consider yourselves flash-a-holics, but u might be considered wipe-a-holics lol

wipe away fellas!
[EVO 4G General] Ska8erMush:
Just to make sure I am understanding this correctly,

I have a 16gb Class 10 microsd with a 2gb ext3 partition. I want to put apps onto my ext partition. This S2E program will do the whole moving apps to the ext partition for me? I hear a lot of things about darktremors but have never tried it. The only apps2sd i have used have been automatic such as synergy. I know that CM supports its own/googles move application to sd feature but will this run faster?

Noob at apps2sd stuff here :D thanks!
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I'll never understand why people seem to get personally offended by the fact that others may wipe more things or more times than they do.

It's more efficient to wipe all the partitions and then flash.

Absolutely necessary? No.

Could it possibly prevent a bug or issue? Yeah.

Does it take more than 10 seconds? No.

If you don't want to do it don't but if others choose to...so what?
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Wipe til you bleed, if you must. Just remember to wipe front to back.
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
i didn't see anyone personally offended. i did see some folks stating their personal solutions vs general consensus.

i don't really care if you prefer to wipe 5x in each cardinal direction. so long as you clarify it is your personal choice and not considered best practice. /shrug
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Scroll back to the last time this topic was discussed.

I also think it is the best practice (maybe not three times but once each)

It's just like fixing a computer, I'd rather format the entire partition when installing a new Windows setup not just delete c:/windows
[EVO 4G General] maxdamage2122:
Instead of telling poeple how to handle their flashes or giving them a "best practice" method I would rather educate them so they can make their own decision.

When flashing a cyanogenmod rom:

/boot is formatted and boot.img is flashed to it so their is no need to manually format it.

/system is formatted as well EXCEPT gapps is backed up before the format and then restored after. So unless you don't trust cyanogenmod handling the backup/restore there is no need to manually format

/cache is not formatted during a flash. Its absolutely ok to format it. However, cache contains frequently accessed system files in order to help speed up performance. So by formatting it you may slow down performance but will you notice the difference? I'm not sure.

dalvic cache: same as /cache but used to help app performance.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
What's the need to trust it?

Seriously, I guess if we were talking about a 30 minute process to format all partitions I could see what is being suggested here.

We're talking about 10 seconds to format /cache, /system and /boot.... if you're doing it nice and slowly.

That's why I feel this debate is silly.

I never said "YOU MUST DO THIS", I just said I feel it's the best practice and it's what I do.

And the only bugs I've ever had are bugs that are in the ROM.
[EVO 4G General] maxdamage2122:
Really? My post offended you!? Sometimes I wonder why I share my knowledge with anyone.

Just shut your mouth and do what you please with the information. Print it out and use it to wipe your ass for all I care. I didn't ask for your comment on it.
[EVO 4G General] timdawgdentist:
flashed over wiping dalvik / cache from 6-14 nightly... Everything worked fine except the 4g indicator didn't light up it worked but no color or signal level. Also my 4g was slower. I flashed the tiamat 3.37 cause I like wired tether. Anyways back on my nandroid.

tim
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Uh go screw yourself?

Seriously, who said it offended me?

I simply explained my reasoning with the same attitude that everyone gives this topic.

Not necessarily directed toward you bud.
[EVO 4G General] cocaineblunts:
Just realized my camera force closes when I try and take a picture on N152
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Works just fine here.

Try wiping /system and /boot and reflashing.
[EVO 4G General] maxdamage2122:
You could take mattykinsx's advice or spin around three times and clap. Both will yield the same result.

I would 1st try fixing permissions and make sure you reboot after. If that doesn't work then I would reflash N152. If both those things don't work there might be something messed up in /data
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
And you wonder why the **** I gave attitude?

Can't stand some people around here with the unnecessary attitude.

By the way, its obvious it wasnt ME who took offense earlier, it was YOU.

The best part is how you insult my suggestion and then repackage it.

Are you Steve Jobs?
[EVO 4G General] maxdamage2122:
I meant to quote the formatting /boot part but failed.

/argument
[EVO 4G General] fergie716:
IDK if anyone else had trouble changing the lockscreen background to an image, but I have for the past few builds.. Flashed n152 and installed QuickPic to choose the image and it finally stuck.. Wouldn't work if I used stock gallery or Root Explorer for some reason...

Anyway, anyone else check out this app HERE

It's pretty cool.. lists available theme chooser apk's.. Links to Market, XDA and other forums.. It's very complete and pretty handy
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I really couldn't give a crap what you meant to quote.

Your little sassy attitude toward wiping all partitions before you flash is just ridiculous.

And it is exactly the **** I was referring to earlier.

You don't like how someone else handles their phone? That's cool for you dude. Seriously.

Awesome as ****.

But to give your little attitude is just uncalled for.

Watch him come back in this thread and say that wiping and re-flashing worked. Because unless it's a hardware issue or a bug in the ROM, 9/10 re-flashing fixes this sort of issue.

I enjoy the acting of a 12 year old by the "thanks" that was issued too.

Sad that instead of being concerned about helping people we're bickering about silly ****.

@cocaineblunts I hope the fix wasn't lost in this silly garbage.

Try fixing permissions and if that doesn't work then wipe and reflash. Might be a good idea to redownload the zip to make sure its good.

If the issue continues you may want to try a different ROM/Kernel and see if it works.

If not, could be hardware.
[EVO 4G General] nc_carol:
did not realize system and boot are addressed as part of the flash process. Thanks for the info.
[EVO 4G General] nc_carol:
oh, I hope that's not directed at me. I was actually saying thank you for that info, as it was new to me. I try not to engage in the prepubescent shenanigans that seem to be so pervasive in some of the forums. seriously.
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
i'm sure he's talking about me. i so wish we could meet this kid.. although like here on xda, i'm sure nobody could stand to be around him for any length of time. it was nice when there was a few days he didn't post..

[EVO 4G General] Headcase_Fargone:
So I installed 152 yesterday after not having flashed in a few weeks. I think I was coming from 120-something. Anyway, I'm getting absolutely horrendous battery life now when actually using the phone, ie screen is on. Standby battery life is still decent, but I can sit here and watch my battery plummet as I'm using the phone.

I'm on Tiamat 4.0.6 but just went back to 3.3.7 (the old standby) and it's doing the same thing. This is a very noticeable difference. Anyone else seeing this?

Edit: Also just discovered while transferring 153 over that I'm getting 900KB/s transfer rate to my phone. Never seen that one before either.
[EVO 4G General] keyeblackmon:
I am on not getting a 3G signal for some reason. I am able to use my laptop though. This kind of weird and new to me. any advise would be apprectiated. Thanks. I am on 147 but I flashed a few other nightlies and I still cant get a 3G signal in which I cant get on the internet. It has to be my phone again because I can use my computer with no problems. I am able to use my wifi from the router as well. again, any help is appreciated.
[EVO 4G General] nc_carol:
sadly, I too am having stinky battery life. Probably since the late 130s or so. I'm not ready to say it's directly CM related because I have a tremendous number of apps that I've recently added, so I'm not sure which is the offender(s). I'm in the middle of a battery calibration now, but I can't even get through a day now without getting dangerously close to dead battery. Spare parts isn't really helping me figure it out, nothing out of the ordinary really. I did have an android system partial wake lock yesterday that was about 20 minutes, but normally no real pwl issues. Stock kernel as I always have. If the calibration doesn't yield anything extra, I may have to resort to trying another kernel. Where's the best reading on it, if I may ask?
[EVO 4G General] Redneck Trash:
Has the Tiamat kernel been updated since GB 2.3.5 was released? Seems since it was merged into CM7 was about the time people started reporting issues with Tiamat.
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
i flashed from 121 to 152.

- tried the Tiamat kernel (406 and 337) but my phone doesn't seem to like it no matter the version of kernel or CM7. poor battery life and the device would often overheat.

- tried goldenmonkey and it seemed ok but the camera viewfinder is solid white (camera works, i just couldn't frame the photo)

- tried SZ 2.2.1 (i know it's old) and it's been better than on 121.

- the stock kernel seems good, but i miss SBC. buddy claims he's getting 25hrs on stock.

/prays for new AOSP kernels soon.
[EVO 4G General] Headcase_Fargone:
That could very well be it, didn't think about that. I was on 2.3.4 on my last nightly prior to this. CM153 with Tiamat 3.3.7 isn't proving any better. Down 30% in the 1 hour 15 minutes I was at lunch.

I'll reflash CM and give the stock kernel I try I suppose.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
:rolleyes:

Yes I was referring to you because you used the thanks system to try to start something. You've done it before.

There was no need to thanks anything he had to say because what he had to say, less the insult, was exactly what I said.

To the rest of your post: You don't even know what you're talking about.

Daily temper tantrums? What in the world are you talking about? :rolleyes:

God forbid I defend myself against ridiculous people who are actually offended that someone else might do something different than they do with their phone.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
It hasn't but I have personally had no issues and I run 4.0.6 with 2.3.5.

Actually, my battery life is better than with 2.3.4.
[EVO 4G General] blu3poptart:
I'm using SZ and everything works great :) I'm loving this nightly! Matty, there's nothing wrong with defending yourself but to go into a complete outburst of rage makes you look like an imbecile and no better than the person who insulted you. Let it go or take it to PM's..quite frankly, we don't need that **** here and its irrelevant to the purpose of this thread. That is all...
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
You mean just like the unnecessary rude comments about turning around and clapping?

Oh, okay :)
[EVO 4G General] maxdamage2122:
Dude seriously! Get outta your mothers basement and off xda. Then maybe you wouldn't be an unemployed loser!

Ill let you have one more hissy fit comment since I know you can't drop it but after that this crap is over. Got it?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
If you're going to insult someone you could at least use some creativity don't you think?

I also enjoy how you're going to "let me" do something on these forums.

Who do you think you are?

Stop acting like a child school bully(same insults too) and I'll stop calling you out on it.
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
successful troll has been successful.

thank the gods for option to ignore.
[EVO 4G General] XsMagical:
Is this what happens when people flash nightlies on a daily bases? Lmao
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
No, its what happens when people are allowed to make their little comments to no end.

On some forums that wouldn't be allowed.

In real adult life you wouldn't make those comments to another adult.

However, on XDA only for some reason, making these comments gives you the cool status and defending yourself against them (somehow) makes you a "troll".

All this because some people tend to wipe all partitions, reminding you it takes a total of five to ten seconds, when flashing a nightly.

:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] XsMagical:
I think you all need to quit flashing so much and check into rehab lol
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
I take it easy in the forums because being big and bad on hear means nothing, if I heard some of the dumb **** I hear in these forums in real life, I'm going ham, I keep it 100. If I met someone telling me to do a wipe 5 times instead of one, he would have to explain that to me thoroughly, if he says just because, my exact words would be you're wasting your fu#*ing time (whether you're wasting 2secs or 2hours) , but I can't say that here.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Feel free to show me where in this conversation it was ever brought up to wipe the same partition multiple times.

It wasn't. It was suggested that someone who was having problems wipe partitions and reflash.

Then that was mocked and that same suggestion was repackaged by that same forum member.

So when you fail to find where that was suggested feel free to give me an apology.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
Now I know why everyone is on your helmet, you need to take a chill pill. I gave an example of real life vs xda forum. Where did I say you said wipe the same partion twice?
[EVO 4G General] cheapskate88:
P-slim,

How does cm on the nexus s compare to the evo? Significant speed increases? Battery life? Wimax speeds?

Really appreciate the input.
[EVO 4G General] Redneck Trash:
As far as battery life goes just about anything beats the Evo 4G. :(
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
They are basically the same when it comes to speed, I can't tell the difference from 1ghz to 1.2. Battery is where nexus kills it. For some reason the nexus takes waaay longer to charge but it also last 10x longer. But unfortunately the nexus can't tether 4G natively as well as wireless tether app doesn't do infrastructure on the nexus only adhoc, which causes problems. Android devices like the xoom can't connect to adhoc
[EVO 4G General] cheapskate88:
Hah, yeah right... but I'm curious whether people with both devices see a significant increase running cm on both.
[EVO 4G General] cheapskate88:
Wow, no native 4G tethering? Now do you mean not tethering 4G speeds like that scuffle we got into before, or just not broadcasting at all when 4G is up and running?

Also, really surprised that you see such a big difference in battery life. I just assumed cm would keep battery relatively even across both devices... very good to know.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
No, 4G natively tethering doesn't work at all, won't turn on, unless you pay. Ad hoc thru wireless tether app is the only way to tether 4G for free. Hopefully wireless tether adds infrastructure for ns4g soon, it's Obviously capable

GPS driver in the nightlies

I still have to reflash the old GPS driver from nightly 39 every time I upgrade to the newest nightly build. Otherwise the GPS (I use Google Navigation) is stuck indefinitely on "Waiting for signal" message and won't lock on any satellites.

I was wondering if anyone else is seeing this issue and if so - how come CM team wont put this working GPS driver in the new builds?

The driver is attached just in case
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Sometimes my GPS will have this "I'm never gonna lock for you :p" issue.

What I do is I turn the GPS, count to three, and turn it back on.

Usually get a lock within 2 seconds after doing that.

Doesn't matter what GPS driver I use too.

My evo doesn't like the latest 2.3.5 nightlies for some reason.

Whenever I flashed any of the N144-N153, my phone goes into infinite boot loop.

Well it boots up, but I think the issue occurs in reading SD card and then it boots.

I have tried flashing by just clearing cache/delvic cache, full wipe and also Calkulin's Format All Zip, but the result is same.

I went back to N139 and it works fine.

I am using default cm7 kernel.

Good afternoon all

I am at a loss and could use some help.

Long story short, the CM 7.0.3.1 nandroid won't restore, gotta start over from scratch.

Downloaded the latest nightly and installed (Amon RA 2.3)

wiped system, date, dalvik-cache & cache before installing the nightly (also coming from a Sense ROM)

Fixed permissions through ROM Manager after reboot.

Don't have the Market, no way to download all the apps I had before.

Went into - Settings - Accounts, tried to add my gmail account, however it will not connect (verified password).

I'm at a total loss and could really use some help.

Just when I thought I was getting pretty comfy with wiping, flashing, etc., I forget a pretty major component. HUGE thanks! Evo is charging now, but I'm sure that's it.

I was having bluetooth issues with the RC and a nightly I tried. Since I have nothing to lose having to start from scratch... would you recommend doing a factory reset from AmonRA, then flashing both the nightly and Gapps?

The only backup I have left is a 4.24.651 Sense ROM with wireless N fix, Sprint Hotspot hack. I know this backup works alright.

Thanks again for your help
